Why wont my RT314 let anyone outside my own network access the ftp server?

Well, my netgear rt314 is setup to automatically detect settings, (dhcp)

Internet access is working great, but i cannot get anyone outside my own network to access the ftp.

I forwarded port 3030(ftp server) to 192.168.0.2 (my servers internal ip)

here is a Link to my ftp.
The computers inside the network can access it fine, that's if I use the server internal ip.

Oh, and my Im running BulletProof FTP server 2.15 w/win2k pro.

Any possible reasons?

thanks

well it seems that there is no server responding...just as a test, set the server to port 21...then forward port 21 on the router, and also turn the 'ftp filter' to forward packets...this is under "filter set configuration'....

I run an ftp server behind a netgear rt314 ..works great...
ok what you need to do now that you have that port 3030 forwarded
setup a range of passive ports on your ftp server. like 3030 ~ 3040
then setup a passive ip to listen to...use your public ip for it.

You have to telnet to the router: telnet 192.168.0.1
Make sure your filters (menu option 21) are not killing traffic that is coming in on port 3030 (or whatever port you decide).
Add the port forwarding info (menu option 15) so that it looks like this:

Port # I.P. Address
3030 192.168.0.2 (or whatever the IP address of the FTP server is)

Thats it!

Oh, BTW, the RT314 doesn't have a loop back function so you have to check your FTP server from another IP address. One way to check is to telnet to an account (outside of your network) and then connect back to your ftp server.
